Introduction

Donald Trump's presidential victory in the US elections came as an initial shock to markets.

However, as the dust settles following his victory speech and comments about plans for his first 100 days in office, what are likely to be the effects of his proposed economic policies on the US, UK and other markets globally?

Will a Trump presidency be bond-negative and equity-positive? Will gold regain some of its value as a hedge against the US dollar, and which emerging market economies will benefit the most - or least from Mr Trump's protectionist trade strategies?

While it is too early to make a call on what might happen after January 2017 when Mr Trump becomes President Trump, this guide features analysts and commentators giving their views on what might be a risk and what might be an opportunity for your investing clients.
